Dearest Gentle Readers,

The Wait is Over! As part 2 of season 3 of Bridgerton has finally released and I can't keep calm! 😫💕

With release of this season, Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington's (Nicola Coughlan) relationship, concludes.

In giving Polin a happy ending, "Bridgerton" also heavily teased that Benedict, the second-eldest sibling, will get the main character treatment next season.

Although an official announcement is yet to be made about the season four lead yet, but all the signs point to Benedict (Luke Thompson).

On the season finale, as Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) prepares to head off to Scotland with Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd), John Stirling (Victor Alli), and Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza), she tells Benedict that she'll only be gone until next year.

"Do you think Mama would ever let me miss her Masquerade Ball?" she says.

Benedict, still not ready to settle down, replies: "I will be there, hiding out behind a mask, avoiding eligible ladies like the plague."

That not-so-subtle moment was a nod to Benedict's novel "An Offer From a Gentleman," which is part of Julia Quinn's "Bridgerton" book series.

In the third, "Cinderella"-inspired book, Benedict meets a woman named Sophie Beckett at a masquerade ball. Unbeknownst to him, Sophie is a servant to a rude stepmother named Araminta Gunningworth. By the end of the book, they express their love for each other and get married.

Brownell told Deadline that Benedict will continue "exploring his fluidity," but played coy about when he might meet his future wife.

Let's see which Bridgerton really find their one in the next season? Who are you rooting for?
